The Band - I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced

They say every distance is not near

So I remember every face

Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

They say ev'ry man needs protection

They say that every man must fall

But I swear I see my reflection

Somewhere so high above this wall

I see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

Down here in this lonely crowd

There's a man who swears he's not to blame

All day long I hear him shouting

So loud just crying out that he's been framed

I see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
